Add −12/7+(3/14) Write your answer as a reduced improper fraction.(1 point)

Answer 1

To add the fractions \(-\frac{12}{7}\) and \(\frac{3}{14}\), we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 7 and 14 is 14.

Now, we convert \(-\frac{12}{7}\) to a fraction with a denominator of 14:

\[ -\frac{12}{7} = -\frac{12 \times 2}{7 \times 2} = -\frac{24}{14} \]

Now we can add the two fractions:

\[ -\frac{24}{14} + \frac{3}{14} = \frac{-24 + 3}{14} = \frac{-21}{14} \]

Next, we simplify \(\frac{-21}{14}\). Both 21 and 14 can be divided by 7:

\[ \frac{-21 \div 7}{14 \div 7} = \frac{-3}{2} \]

Thus, the answer is:

\[ \boxed{-\frac{3}{2}} \]

Answer 2

Can you write it as a normal fraction?

Answer 3

Certainly! The fraction \(-\frac{3}{2}\) can also be expressed as a mixed number.

To convert \(-\frac{3}{2}\) into a mixed number:

1. Divide 3 by 2, which equals 1 with a remainder of 1.
2. Thus, \(-\frac{3}{2}\) can be written as \(-1 \frac{1}{2}\).

So, written as a normal fraction or mixed number, it is:

\[ -1 \frac{1}{2} \]

Stop putting it in weird code

Answer 5

Apologies for that! The fraction -3/2 can be expressed as a mixed number.

As a mixed number, it is written as:

-1 1/2

This means negative one and one-half. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, just let me know!

Answer 6

Add −12/7+(3/14)

Answer 7

To add \(-\frac{12}{7} + \frac{3}{14}\), we first need to find a common denominator.

The denominators are 7 and 14. The least common denominator (LCD) is 14.

Now, we need to convert \(-\frac{12}{7}\) to have a denominator of 14:

\[ -\frac{12}{7} = -\frac{12 \times 2}{7 \times 2} = -\frac{24}{14} \]

Now we can add the two fractions:

\[ -\frac{24}{14} + \frac{3}{14} = \frac{-24 + 3}{14} = \frac{-21}{14} \]

Next, we simplify \(-\frac{21}{14}\):

Both the numerator and the denominator can be divided by 7:

\[ -\frac{21 \div 7}{14 \div 7} = -\frac{3}{2} \]

So, \(-\frac{12}{7} + \frac{3}{14}\) simplifies to:

-3/2

If you want it in mixed number form, it's -1 1/2. Let me know if there's anything else you need!

Answer 8

Dont put it in weird code

Answer 9

Got it! I will keep it simple.

To add \(-12/7\) and \(3/14\):

1. Convert \(-12/7\) to a common denominator of 14:

   • \(-12/7\) becomes \(-24/14\).

2. Now add \(-24/14\) and \(3/14\):

   • \(-24 + 3 = -21\), so you get \(-21/14\).

3. Simplify \(-21/14\):

   • Both numbers can be divided by 7, giving you \(-3/2\).

So, the final answer is -3/2.
